A difficult race to fathom out but Noblefir has done enough to suggest that he can start paying his way soon and Len Lungo's charge is fancied to have too much experience for Next to Nothing and Bacyan. The selection also holds Sands Rising on their recent meeting at Haydock Park and it will be very surprising if the form is revered on exactly the same terms today. Mounthooley, on the other hand, is weighted to go close this time and he represents the biggest danger to the selection. However, Noblefir has the assistance of Tony Dobbin this time around and the partnership are hard to oppose at a track where messuers Lungo and Dobbin have an impeccable strike-rate together.
